Description and Key Features
St. John's Wort Dry Extract 10% is a concentrated form of Hypericum perforatum, a plant celebrated for centuries for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-calming benefits. As a powder, this extract is a convenient and stable form of the plant's active compounds, including hypericin and hyperforin, which are responsible for its therapeutic effects. When incorporated into formulations, it helps to calm irritated skin, protect against environmental stressors, and support the skin's natural regeneration process. This high-quality extract is a must-have for anyone crafting targeted solutions for sensitive, stressed, or blemish-prone skin.

The versatility of our St. John's Wort Dry Extract 10% allows for its use across a comprehensive spectrum of cosmetic and wellness products. The recommended input percentage is 1-4%, and it can be used in two main ways: by dissolving it in the water phase of an emulsion or by adding it directly as a powder in masks and body wraps. This flexibility empowers you to create custom formulations tailored to specific needs.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
Prepare a clean work surface and sanitize all your tools and containers. This is crucial for maintaining the quality of your product.
Measure the dry ingredients. In a small, clean bowl, measure the white kaolin clay, oat powder, and the St. John's Wort extract. Mix the powders thoroughly to ensure an even distribution.
Add the liquid ingredient. Gradually add the chamomile hydrolate to the dry powder mix. Stir well until a smooth, uniform paste is formed. Adjust the consistency as needed by adding a few more drops of hydrolate.
Apply the mask. Apply the paste evenly to a clean face, avoiding the eye area. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes, or until it is nearly dry.
Rinse off the mask. Rinse the mask off with warm water, gently massaging in circular motions to provide a light exfoliation. Follow with your regular skincare routine.
Recommendations for Use: This mask is best used once or twice a week. You can adjust the percentage of the St. John's Wort extract within the recommended range of 1-4% to suit your skin's needs. For best results, use fresh ingredients for each application. Store any remaining dry powder mix in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency. Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full application.
